My partner has a 50cm road bike that I sometimes ride on which is fine if just cruising around town, but I want to eventually race cross so I'm thinking I'll need a smaller size. To make it easier to dismount.

I tried a 46cm Long Haul Trucker when I was shopping around one day and felt a bit cramped on it, but the cross check is a whole different bike.

I was thinking I'd like the smaller size and if I feel cramped I could always switch to a longer stem to compensate.

Any advice would be awesome!


I've also been looking at the Kona Jake which has IMO a better variety of sizes, but I want to be able to use the bike for all things. Road riding, light trails, cyclocross, and light touring.


I just switched from a cross bike with a 50.5 TT to one that is 51.5. I think my road bike is 50.5 but on the cross bike I felt cramped. I do think I might shorten my stem but it feels good. I'm nearly 5' 4" but pretty even torso/leg wise.
